2. Chair opens a Speaker's List with two speakers for discussing Topic A and two for Topic B.
3. Delegate motions to "Close debate on setting the agenda."
   1. Take two speakers against closing debate.
   2. Vote to close debate (requires 2/3 majority).
4. Vote on Topic A; if it fails, vote on Topic B.
